Turnitin is the originality checking and plagiarism prevention software used here at CR. An instructor can use this service with or without Canvas integration to have student work submitted to Turnitin’ s proprietary software that compares student work to a large database of digital content.
You do not need to create a separate Turnitin account to access Turnitin in Canvas. Canvas authenticates student and instructor and the connection to Turnitin is seamless even for first time users.
The way we use Turnitin has recently changed. You no longer need to use an External Link to Turnitin, Simply select Online as the Submission Type and check the Enable Turnitin button to have the report available in SpeedGrader and the Gradebook. Students submit their work and are graded as they would be for any other Canvas Assignment. Reports may take up to 30 min to generate after student submissions.
In addition you can add a custom message that will show when student submit to a Turnitin assignment. Click on Settings in the left navigation and put in what you want students to see when they submit to Turnitin through Canvas.
There is an Advanced settings menu that you can use to set comparison and repository options:
Importation things to keep in mind when using the Turnitin LTI
Due Dates: When you create a Turnitin assignment in Canvas the due date will become Turnitin’s close date for the assignment. Unless you change the Turnitin setting to allow late submissions the assignment will close on the due date.
Rubrics: If you want to use a Canvas rubric for the assignment, you must add the rubric before setting the submission type to External Tool Turnitin. If you forget to attach your rubric before you have enabled Turnitin you can select a different submission method, save the assignment and then attach a rubric and go back and re- enable Turnitin.
Canvas Until Date : In general you do not want to set the until date for a Canvas Turnitin assignment. It will block access to the Turnitin interface and prevent students from seeing any feedback. You can set the option to allow students to submit late in Turnitin and then disable it after the assignment is complete. This will allow students access to their feedback but not allow them to submit. If you do choose to close the assignment make sure students understand how long they can view there feedback.
Copy Course: If you copy a Turnitin assignment from another course, you will have to re-enable the External Tool Submission Type for each assignment, otherwise the assignment will not be connected to Turnitin.
Resubmit: You can allow students to resubmit assignments to Turnitin and you can resubmit one for them using Canvas (See above). Assignments that are resubmitted may not show up in SpeedGrader properly. You cannot submit a paper for a student using Canvas. You can upload papers to Turnitin for students using the Turnitin web interface to check papers.
Turnitin Web Interface: You cannot retroactively enabled Turnitin on an assignment. If students have already submitted work it will not automatically move to Turnitin. If you want to use the Turnitin website interface, you can go through the forgotten password process at Turitin.com to set up a password and then login to web interface
